Great post. Thank you for sharing this info.
Hi Joe -
You can go to Yahoo, MSN, of Google Finance. For example, for Yahoo go to Finance, enter the symbol of the company you want to research, and go to key statistics. MSN Money also has annual and five year summaries under key (growth) ratios. Most brokers will have these summaries as well (e.g. E*Trade).
If anyone has other summary sites please post them and thank you,
Kenneth
Is there a web site where I can go to get the specific annual rate of growth in shareholders equity for different stocks (growth numbers for perhaps up to 10 years )
thanks,
Joe
